Lowering the Barrier to Entry
The Cloud Computing for Business course reflects the need for computing education to meet students where they are. Like any specialized community, computing has its own jargon. The formal teaching of computing should not burden students with the assumption that they are fluent in this special language.
The material is presented in smaller units that are more manageable for the students. The same vocabulary and cloud computing concepts are covered, but in a more approachable way. Our Cloud Computing for Business course states information as plainly as possible, and, when appropriate, use images, tables, or lists.
Another way in which this content is more approachable is that it uses interactive demos to allow students hands-on exploration of the theoretical concepts introduced.
